Gene:
pituitary tumor-transforming 1 interacting protein
Gene ID:
194200
Symbol:
PTTG1IP
Species:
1000
Description:
The encoded protein, which directly binds to pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1 protein (PTTG1), facilitates the nuclear translocation of PTTG1 and potentiates the transcriptional activation of basic fibroblast growth factor by PTTG1. The gene product localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Its NLS is required for its own nuclear localization, the nuclear localization of PTTG1, and its interaction with PTTG1.
